New Mexico (NM) water rights Assessment

[amabdallah]

Reference https://github.com/WSWCWaterDataExchange/MappingStatesDataToWaDE2.0/tree/master/NewMexico/WaterAllocation

NM PODs show 265K records, and WestDAAT shows 186 water rights. I understand that on water right may be connected to multiple PODs; is that the case for this difference? I see some water rigths were kicked out due to different issues.

To help users understand this difference in the data source and WestDAAT, we need to provide a summary table in each assessment report and add it to the GitHub ReadME that shows these counts. Suggested example

Dataset	Total count of PODs	Total Count of POUs	Total count of water rights
NM PODs	265,000	NA	NA(?)
WestDAAT	add count #	NA	186,000

Suggested summary of excluded water rights/POD with reason

Reason	Count
Mising location coordinates	add count
Missing water source	add count
Missing xyz	add count

Looks like their POD has been updated to include an additional records, and they are now at 265,551 (08/2023) vs our previous download at 260,150 (05/2023). I'm going to re-download this data and use it as a new input.

Other than more records, I see no additional data included. I don't see anything that was previously missing now included. So business as usual.

I'll see what I can do about auto creating / populating some figures and estimates directly into the ReadMe.
